An Stùc, simply 'the peak', is a cone-shaped summit on the main Ben Lawers ridge, between Ben Lawers and Meall Garbh. It only became a Munro in 1997; before that it was counted as a subsidiary top of the range. There's a cairn, but the highest point is a large rock about 25 m to the north-east. Its southern and eastern slopes are part of the Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve, owned by the National Trust for Scotland.
